decidim-app-cache-problems

Free Open-Source participatory democracy, citizen participation and open government for cities and organizations

This is the open-source repository for test_decidim_app, based on Decidim.

Setting up the application

You will need to do some steps before having the app working properly once you've deployed it:

1. Start a postgres 15 database. If you have Docker configured, you can simply run docker compose up;
2. There's a .env file in the root directory containing appropriate variables for connecting to the Docker database;
3. Prepare de database:

rails db:create
rails db:migrate
rails db:seed # custom seeds

4. Install NPM dependencies: npm i;
5. Enable dev caching: rails dev:cache;
6. Start the server: rails s.

You're good to go!

Reproduce machine translations cache bug

1. Access the running app on localhost:3000;
2. Access the only published process;
3. Access the Proposals tab;
4. Click on New proposal (you will have to log in using user@example.org and decidim123456789);
5. Create a new proposal and publish it;
6. Switch the app locale to a different locale from the one you used to create the proposal;
7. Try to toggle between original text and automatically-translated text. It should work fine on the proposal page;
8. The proposal should appear on the parent process "overview" page (The process tab) as an highlighted proposal;
9. Try to toggle between original text and automatically-translated text. It should not work here.

Discovered solution

Do this after the Reproduce machine translations cache bug section.

1. Stop the app;
2. Checkout the cache-accounts-for-machine-translations branch;
3. Restart the app and access it on localhost:3000;
4. Access the only published process "overview" page;
5. The proposal created previously should still be highlighted here;
6. Try to toggle between original text and automatically-translated text. It should work fine by now.
